a start on that in obama care. we need to go further and further in medicare and do further in medicare. at the same time, with an aging population and rising health care costs we need to bring taxes above where they are now and bring them relatively far where they are now. simpson-bowles had 2.5 trillion in tax increases and new one today a total $1.2 trillion. washington has moved so far to the right on tax and not worth trying any more is their point. it is worth saying if we don't want to make dumb cuts to the government go higher on taxes and into entitlements and not should be doing more damage to the everything else part of the budget. the education and first responders and all of that. we have cut enough there. no more. >> you bring your simpson and bowles. they released more of the detail today about the deficit reduction plan they have. here is what they had to say on "the daily rundown" this morning about that plan. take a look. >> they can scoff all they want but either get your country on course and fo

it seems that obama wants him on board for a different reason. he wants him on board to be a buffer between the congress and the president, between the special interest groups and the president, and i think hagel can be an effective buffer. he's not going to be channeling pressure from congress or from some outside groups towards the president either vis a vis iran or israel or some of the other issues where perhaps congress, even democrats in congress and the president aren't necessarily on the same page. so i think that in a way, obama wants hagel to be his flack, the person who will be absorbing that criticism from congress. one thing hagel showed last week is he's pretty good at absorbing criticism and blows from congress. he did not give a stellar performance but on the other hand, he was grilled for eight hours. he didn't make a major mistake. he slipped up a little on the containment question but all in all, there was no big blowup. he didn't get drawn into a fight with the republicans which some republicans were hoping. as harry reid said

president obama. but the supposedly gigantic growth of those deficits is why congressional republicans are >>> in march 2007, some of the fine folks at morgan stanley were brainstorming via e-mail about what they wanted to call a new product they were working on. it was an investment package essentially that they would eventually go on to sell to a chinese bank. here are some of the potential product names that were suggested in this brainstorming session by a particular morgan stanley vice president. flutter fish 2007, or mike tyson's punchout 2007, or he also suggested nuclear holocaust 2007. now, you don't think that will sell it? what about subprime meltdown 2007, or perhaps best of all, the right-to-the-point suggestion of poopbag 2011. only the morgan stanley guy did not suggest the word "poop" before bag, but suggested the other four-letter word that means the same thing but starts with the letter "s." the reason they insisted on giving their products such derogatory names is because they knew

president obama second at 51%. paul ryan, marco rubio, john boehner, all far behind. joining me now karen tumulte and david goodfriend. thank you for joining me. the analysis of the seven-point dive there, if that's the accurate word here, why do you believe the approval rating is sinking from december? >> a couple of things. in december, we just come off the large presidential election where both he and his republican opponents spent inordinate amounts of money to get the point across and people weigh the two messages. mitt romney versus barack obama and now left with sort of a generic feeling of the public how do you think things are going? as you put on the screen, most americans don't feel things are going well and will blame that on an incumbent. that having been said, the president's approval ratings are still strong as you point out, strong relative to congress and historical trends. i happen to think that the biggest news out of that poll is even after the republicans tried to tar her with benghazi, hillary clinton remains unbelievably strong and i think that'

bush and any way to adjudicate the possibilities of what war means to the obama administration? >> well, i think that, i think that is absolutely right, it has been a continuation of the bush administration policies, and yes, administrations always try to push the outer bounds of the authority. but one thank is clear is that the laws of war have not changed even if the practice has changed. there are really three reasons that a country can, a state can use force outside of its borders. one, if it is the victim of an armed attack and second if the u.n. security council authorizes it, and three, assisting a state that requests it, and we have stretched that boundary as well far beyond what the laws of war call for. so i think that there is a very serious question about this question of perpetual war, but we should remember historically in the 20th century, the u.s. was at war virtually every decade of the 20th century, so if we think of ourselves as peaceful country that does not engage in war, we need to rethink that. >> that is right. david, i want to ask this question, because
